Why Generators?
From Plop:
Because when you create your boilerplate separate from your code, you naturally put more time and thought into it.
Because saving your team (or yourself) 5-15 minutes when creating every route, component, controller, helper, test, view, etc... really adds up.
Because context switching is expensive and saving time is not the only benefit to automating workflows.
